절	Good News Translation (1992)	King James Version
1	Don't Make Rash Promises Be careful about going to the Temple. It is better to go there to learn than to offer sacrifices like foolish people who don't know right from wrong.	Keep thy foot when thou goest to the house of God, and be more ready to hear, than to give the sacrifice of fools: for they consider not that they do evil.
2	Think before you speak, and don't make any rash promises to God. He is in heaven and you are on earth, so don't say any more than you have to.	Be not rash with thy mouth, and let not thine heart be hasty to utter any thing before God: for God is in heaven, and thou upon earth: therefore let thy words be few.
3	The more you worry, the more likely you are to have bad dreams, and the more you talk, the more likely you are to say something foolish.	For a dream cometh through the multitude of business; and a fool’s voice is known by multitude of words.
4	So when you make a promise to God, keep it as quickly as possible. He has no use for a fool. Do what you promise to do.	When thou vowest a vow unto God, defer not to pay it; for he hath no pleasure in fools: pay that which thou hast vowed.
5	Better not to promise at all than to make a promise and not keep it.	Better is it that thou shouldest not vow, than that thou shouldest vow and not pay.
6	Don't let your own words lead you into sin, so that you have to tell God's priest that you didn't mean it. Why make God angry with you? Why let him destroy what you have worked for?	Suffer not thy mouth to cause thy flesh to sin; neither say thou before the angel, that it was an error: wherefore should God be angry at thy voice, and destroy the work of thine hands?
7	No matter how much you dream, how much useless work you do, or how much you talk, you must still stand in awe of God.	For in the multitude of dreams and many words there are also divers vanities: but fear thou God.
8	Life Is Useless Don't be surprised when you see that the government oppresses the poor and denies them justice and their rights. Every official is protected by someone higher, and both are protected by still higher officials.	If thou seest the oppression of the poor, and violent perverting of judgment and justice in a province, marvel not at the matter: for he that is higher than the highest regardeth; and there be higher than they.
9	Even a king depends on the harvest.	Moreover the profit of the earth is for all: the king himself is served by the field.
10	If you love money, you will never be satisfied; if you long to be rich, you will never get all you want. It is useless.	He that loveth silver shall not be satisfied with silver; nor he that loveth abundance with increase: this is also vanity.
11	The richer you are, the more mouths you have to feed. All you gain is the knowledge that you are rich.	When goods increase, they are increased that eat them: and what good is there to the owners thereof, saving the beholding of them with their eyes?
12	Workers may or may not have enough to eat, but at least they can get a good night's sleep. The rich, however, have so much that they stay awake worrying.	The sleep of a labouring man is sweet, whether he eat little or much: but the abundance of the rich will not suffer him to sleep.
13	Here is a terrible thing that I have seen in this world: people save up their money for a time when they may need it,	There is a sore evil which I have seen under the sun, namely, riches kept for the owners thereof to their hurt.
14	and then lose it all in some bad deal and end up with nothing left to pass on to their children.	But those riches perish by evil travail: and he begetteth a son, and there is nothing in his hand.
15	We leave this world just as we entered it—with nothing. In spite of all our work there is nothing we can take with us.	As he came forth of his mother’s womb, naked shall he return to go as he came, and shall take nothing of his labour, which he may carry away in his hand.
16	It isn't right! We go just as we came. We labor, trying to catch the wind, and what do we get?	And this also is a sore evil, that in all points as he came, so shall he go: and what profit hath he that hath laboured for the wind?
17	We get to live our lives in darkness and grief, worried, angry, and sick.	All his days also he eateth in darkness, and he hath much sorrow and wrath with his sickness.
18	Here is what I have found out: the best thing we can do is eat and drink and enjoy what we have worked for during the short life that God has given us; this is our fate.	Behold that which I have seen: it is good and comely for one to eat and to drink, and to enjoy the good of all his labour that he taketh under the sun all the days of his life, which God giveth him: for it is his portion.
19	If God gives us wealth and property and lets us enjoy them, we should be grateful and enjoy what we have worked for. It is a gift from God.	Every man also to whom God hath given riches and wealth, and hath given him power to eat thereof, and to take his portion, and to rejoice in his labour; this is the gift of God.
20	Since God has allowed us to be happy, we will not worry too much about how short life is.	For he shall not much remember the days of his life; because God answereth him in the joy of his heart.
